| The old habitues Of New Orleans declare
! II more easily managed than any other form
! of fever, and it would appear that some
| times the simplest treatment Is the best. In
/ 1902 on the ship Gauges, yellow fever de
/ yeoped i'll mid-ocean. The surgeon was one
of its first victims. The meagre supply OF
medicines was soon exhausted, and the as
sistant surgeon found himself with l2O cases
| on hand and no remedies. For lack of any
| thing better he fell back upon the two
| greatest gifts of nature, water ami pure air.
/ or his l2O cases lis recovered and two died.
4 OF these two one was conSumptlVe ana
| the other lifelong debauchee.
! In New Orleans, in 1853, widow lady
who kept boarding house, had nineteen
cases IN her house at one time, and treated
| them all without physician, and lost but
one case In 1915, in Nicksburg, Mrs.
/ Pease, the wife of the Vicksburg Postmas-
| ter with case of homeopathic remedies,
| treated sixty cases among the poor
gratuitousy, and saved them all. In the
same year, in. Memphis, the family Of
Mr. Richie, a poor shoemaker, refused
to accept the services of a physician. Seven
were down at one time The father treated
them all with tepid baths, and all recovered
without doctor or drugs. Among the old
inhabitants of New Orleans a great deal
more confidence is placed in the experienced
nurses than in physicians The usual treat
ment adopted by these nurses is castor oil
freely used, orange-leaf tea and hot mus
tard baths.
IL is certainly a field for investigation
Science nor medicine has so far explained
why yellow fever should devastate the West
Indies and be unknown in the East Indies,
why it often appears on the western coast
of Africa and never on the eastern, why on
the east side of the Rocky Mountains and
the Mississippi river and never on the west.
In times Of peace prepare for war" is a
wise precept, and, if applied to epidemics,
would result in the appointment by the gov
ernment of commissions of scientific and
medical men to investigate and solve some
of these puzzling problems during seasons of
fine public health.

An exceedingly novel and curious proposi-
ton has Just been made by NJ. Camille Flam-
marion, the well known French scientific
wri,r, which is much commented on by the
for n press He desires to preserve inter
national peace 10y u plan that would at the
same time, he asserts enlarge the sum Of hui
man knowledge regarding the interior struct-
ure OF the earth In order to do this he pro-
poa's that the European governments unite,
turn all their military forces into miners and
their weapons into picliaxes and other mining
tools AT some suitable place lie would set
all to work making vast excavation amiles
in depth.n
Ignoring or overlooking the generally ac-
cepted theory that the farther we proceed
toward the center Of the earth the higher we
shall find the temperature, and that, accord
ing TO some writer's, the outer crust of the
globe Is but ten miles in thickness at which
depth the heat is so intense that the earth is
in stnte OF fludity, NJ. Flammarion would
dig down till he reached the central fire. or
the center Of the globe. In this way, he
maintains positive knowledge Of the struct-
ural formation of the earth's interior would
be obtained, while peace would be for the
time maintained, for the nations would
neither fight nor fear each other while all
their armies were underground, the soldiers in
the mines would forget the arts Of war. and
the nations, discovering the vast progress
made without wars, would raise no more
great armies" The plan is certainly an i'll
genious one, but its absurdity is so obvious
that we can only wonder how a man so emf.
nent in scientific researches could for n mo-
ment consider it as possible. Frank Leslie's,
